The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
"The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday".
"If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now."
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
Another agreed, writing: "Pointless getting excited ours never had owt In and if they do people clear the shelf and leave none for others."
Not everyone was on board with the idea of a Drunk Elephant dupe though.
"Not sure the ingredients will be the same and strength," one wrote.
"Seems as long as the packaging or name is vaguely similar people call it a dupe - regardless if the product is remotely similar," another added.
"Problem is though, like most dupes, these are a dupe of the packaging only," a third commented.
"The product itself is very unlikely to be the same."
"Is it a dupe though or just similar packaging?" someone else asked.
"I'd love to know if the ingredients are similar and the quality or it isn't really a dupe at all."
"As lovely as these are and provide a cheaper alternative to an overpriced brand please educate yourselves and your kids as to what ingredients are in those products," another warned.
